nightmare

Audrey woke in the middle of the night with a nightmare. It doesn't happen often, but last night she was sobbing - tears streaming down her face. When I asked her what the dream was about she said, "I was walking along a path in a park. Then I saw a cow in the path so I said 'moo' to him. Then he said to me, 'get off this path' and that scared me." More sobs, more tears.

I was trying hard not to laugh. She was not scared about walking in a park alone. She was not scared about meeting up with a cow in that park. She was just scared that he told her to get off the path. So glad her nightmares are still so innocent!

We prayed together. I rubbed her back. She went back to sleep. I climbed in bed and told Patrick about the dream - we laughed together.

About Me

I am a stay-at-home mom and I homeschool our kids. And (most of the time!), I love my job. My wonderful husband, Patrick, and I have been married for 21 years and have three kids. Audrey (12) is our oldest and the absolute sunshine of our home. She literally wakes up singing! Liam (10) is all boy. What a joy to experience the rough-and-tumble world of boys through his eyes! And Ethan (6) is our youngest. He's a busy little guy who loves to laugh. In a word - our family is BLESSED - beyond what we could ever have imagined.
